About the comedians:

STEVE SABO

The Caffeinated Voice of Reason.

EDGY. ANGRY. HONEST. HILARIOUS!

Comedy road warrior Steve Sabo brings nonstop fun and laughter wherever he goes. No stage is too big or too small for him to conquer; he has performed for crowds as large as 5,000 and as small as two. First hitting the comedy stage straight out of high school, he has honed his craft at comedy clubs, bars, casinos, military bases, cruise ships, colleges, corporate shows, fundraisers, restaurants and even a backyard or two. Wherever laughter is needed you will find him, ready and willing to perform.

In over three decades as a performer, he has had the privilege of sharing the stage with comedy legends such as Joan Rivers, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Dave Attel, Jim Breuer, Christopher Titus, Brad Williams, Steven Michael Quezada and Tom Green. He has made television appearances on HBO, NBC, E! and Comedy Central. He is heard regularly on SiriusXM Satellite Radio and has appeared on the nationally syndicated "Sex Talk Live" , "BTS Radio Show" and "The Jiggy Jaguar Show".

He landed the lead in the low-budget horror film,"Hell's Lake", entertained the troops in Iraq and Kuwait, performed at "Rock on the Range" in 2017, the nation's largest rock music festival and appeared at the 2007's "Gathering of the Juggalos". In addition, he has been seen nationally and internationally at such festivals as Gilda's "Laughfest"(three times), Calgary's "Funnyfest", "The Detroit International Comedy Festival" (twice) and "The Great Plains Comedy Festival" (twice). In all, he has performed in 46 states, 7 countries and 4 islands. He also filmed a cameo in another full-length horror feature film, "PI Day, Die Day", which was released theatrically on March 14, 2016.

An admitted workaholic, Sabo has released seven full length comedy albums, including 2009's "A Mouthful of Sea-Monkeys" which was heralded as "One of the top ten comedy albums of the year" according to the Serious Comedy Site, and his newest CD, "Put Away Wet" which was released in 2022. He is also the author of several books, including the thrillers "Jester's Run" and "Kayla's Gone" as well as the nonfiction book, "How to FAIL at Stand-Up Comedy" which became an Amazon bestseller. His newest novel, "Until the Blood Begins to Flow" is out now. All of his releases are available on Amazon and I-Tunes.

Known throughout the industry as a consummate professional and a comedy chameleon, he has the ability to adjust his act to any environment. Whether the situation calls for a clean show, a dirty show or something in between, he has the experience and material to satisfy any crowd. Considered adult-friendly and intelligent, his honest and observational style, topped with a high energy and frenetic pace, has made him a fan favorite from coast to coast.

When he comes to your town (and he will), make sure you get your tickets early. You won't want to miss it.

No props. No guitar. No magic tricks. No juggling balls... Just a man and a microphone -- with ATTITUDE to spare!

TONYA MURRAY

"People are in your life for a reason, a season, or material."

Tonya Murray became a fan of Joan Rivers at a young age.  Joan's influence was apparent in the self deprecating jokes Tonya wrote when she was a kid.  Although her interest in comedy started young, 2012 was officially the start of her comedy journey.  Tonya is quickly becoming one of the most sought after acts in the midwest today. Her personality and her take on life as a single woman navigating today's "Dating Jungle" give hysterical insight from one who should know. She enjoys using her quick wit and sarcastic sense of humor to make people laugh.  Tonya hails from Metro Detroit and is truly a funny comedian with a style and delivery all her own. To date, some of Tonya's career highlights have been opening for Dave Attell, The RoastMaster General Jeff Ross, Jim Norton, Chris Porter, Rob Little, J Chris Newberg, Dave Landau and she's performed at Gilda’s LaughFest. Tonya's a graduate of the Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts, she completed the writing program at The Second City Detroit, spent a year as an on-air personality in Indianapolis, then in 2010, Tonya became involved with the Detroit 48 Hour Film Competition.  She’s written for 4 of these films including "California Dreamin'" and the 2012 film "Blameless".

Tonya will forever be indebted to the teachers that have taught her so much and inspired her to grow as a writer and performer along her journey.  And she definitely wouldn't be here without the support of her friends, who have been her trial audience for years!  They've actually encouraged her to use her sick & twisted mind to make people laugh and it’s through this laughter that they have overcome many tough times in their lives.  Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you and help you to become the best version of yourself...there's truly no greater gift you can give yourself.
